Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Then, Sun Ce picked up the head wrapped in cloth in his hand, left the corpses all over the ground, and led his troops to hurriedly leave the place in the night.

After Sun Ce walked back about half a mile, he saw two soldiers on the left and right of a stone staircase beside the plank road, holding a man with disheveled hair who was tied up tightly.

The man saw Sun Ce coming back and quickly raised his head, and it was Wei Yan.

When Wei Yan saw that Sun Ce was holding a head wrapped in cloth in his hand, he immediately realized something and spoke quickly.

"General Sun, Wei Yan has never lied to you. Please untie me."

Sun Ce walked up to Wei Yan and raised the ancient ingot knife in his hand, which scared Wei Yan so much that his face changed slightly.

The next moment, the ancient ingot knife was swung down, but it only cut the rope that tied Wei Yan, and also completely slowed down Wei Yan's extremely tense body.

Before this, Wei Yan only brought a dozen or so confidants with him. After getting rid of Liu Biao's burden, their travel speed was naturally not comparable to that of Liu Biao.

Moreover, after Wei Yan initially escaped from sight by diving into the dense forest, he considered that he was unfamiliar with the terrain of Ba County. If he continued to flee into an uninhabited area, he might not be able to get out of the mountains without water and food.

Therefore, after taking a detour for a while, Wei Yan returned to the plank road and continued his journey. He walked ahead of Liu Biao and unexpectedly met Sun Ce.

Because Wei Yan and others were dressed as soldiers of Jingzhou, Sun Ce thought they were scouts sent by Liu Biao to explore the way ahead, so he directly attacked Wei Yan and others.

Although Wei Yan was also extremely brave, he had been running for a day and a night and his strength was exhausted. He had only a dozen trusted guards around him, and many of them were killed on the spot in less than an instant. Wei Yan also lasted less than ten rounds before being subdued by Sun Ce.

Then, Wei Yan naturally told the story of how the Jingzhou army had been ambushed and almost annihilated, and claimed to be a Jingzhou general who had escaped by luck.

It was for this reason that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu knew full well that Liu Yan was willing to sacrifice his concubines and sons in order to frame Liu Biao.

Sun Ce also promised Wei Yan that he would spare his life if he told the truth about everything he knew...

Wei Yan, who had escaped death, stood up and stretched his numb muscles, then bowed and said, "General Sun is a man of his word. I believe that General Sun has successfully avenged his great hatred on this trip."

"Since you said you would spare your life, I will not be such an unfaithful person. You can go now." Sun Ce waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, General Sun!"

Wei Yan said this, and his heart couldn't help but become active.

As a man of poor background, Wei Yan tried his best to climb up. After years of hard work, he finally became a city gate official of medium status. Then he seized the opportunity to offer a brilliant plan to Liu Biao in order to continue to climb higher.

However, his former lord had already been taken control by Sun Ce, and Wei Yan was actually extremely confused about what to do in the future.

Once Liu Biao died and Jingzhou fell, all that Wei Yan had worked for in the past disappeared into thin air, and he undoubtedly returned to the original starting point.

However, looking at Sun Ce, who was showing his openness and heroism, Wei Yan suddenly saw a great opportunity.

At this moment, even Wei Yan could vaguely sense the meaning of the conflict between the two parties, and Liu Bei was undoubtedly the one who benefited in the end.

It seems like an appropriate time to join Liu Bei now.

If he could get Sun Ce's introduction, and given Wei Yan's familiarity with the Jingbei area, he would definitely be valued by Liu Bei.

With this thought, Wei Yan no longer hesitated, tidied up his scattered hair, and then spoke to Sun Ce. "I have heard of Uncle Liu's oath to the Han Dynasty, and I have long admired Uncle Liu. I wish I could serve under Uncle Liu and help him support the Han Dynasty."

"But I was receiving salary from Liu Jingzhou before, and I dared not do such a thing as betraying him. Now, I risked my life to open a way out for Liu Jingzhou, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of my loyalty. I originally wanted to go east to serve Uncle Liu."

"I just happened to meet General Sun here. Could it be God's will? I wonder if General Sun would be willing to recommend me to Emperor Liu. I would like to thank you and repay you for your recommendation one day."

Wei Yan's words were so sincere that Sun Ce's expression was slightly moved.

More importantly, Wei Yan looks 70% similar to Guan Yu, with a face as red as a date and lips as red as rouge.

Only his eyes were very different. Unlike Guan Yu's majestic phoenix eyes that were often squinted, Wei Yan's eyes were pulled down at the corners, making him look a little more cunning.

In addition, Wei Yan did not have Guan Yu's five long beards floating on his chest, but only a short beard.

However, this was enough to surprise Sun Ce.

When they first met, Sun Ce thought Wei Yan was a distant relative of Guan Yu, so he deliberately held back and did not kill Wei Yan.

Now that Wei Yan made such a sincere request, looking at that face that was quite similar to Guan Yu, Sun Ce also felt a sense of favor and closeness in his heart.

Although Sun Ce and Guan Yu did not have much contact, for the sake of Li Ji, Guan Yu also regarded Sun Ce as a close nephew.

Guan Yu, who was obsessed with "Spring and Autumn Annals", attached great importance to etiquette. During festivals, he would always give Sun Ce gifts for his nephews and nieces. This naturally made Sun Ce feel close to and respectful of Guan Yu.

Only Zhou Yu frowned slightly and secretly pulled the corner of Sun Ce's clothes. When he was about to stop Sun Ce, Sun Ce had already opened his mouth to agree.

Afterwards, Sun Ce allowed Wei Yan to leave with him, and took the opportunity to put some distance between himself and Wei Yan before asking.

"Gong Jin just gave a secret warning. Could it be that he was worried that Wei Yan was a spy?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said in a low voice.

"Wei Yan, even when he was tired, was able to fight with Bo Fu for a few moves. He is definitely not comparable to ordinary people. After eating and drinking, I am afraid he is only slightly worse than Bo Fu. It is unlikely that such a person is a spy."

"Ce also thinks so. If such a brave warrior is employed by the lord, he will surely be able to add some help to the lord's great cause."

When Sun Ce said this, his eyes seemed to sparkle.

"only……"

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, but still reminded him, "Although Wei Yan's appearance is somewhat similar to that of Han Shou Ting Hou, his character seems to be very different."

"Liu Biao's head is still in Bofu's hand, but Wei Yan has no intention of avenging his master, and there is no resentment on his face. He even congratulates Bofu for avenging his father. This shows that he is a fickle person."

"Besides, I have previously obtained permission from the Marquis of Guoshi and have had the honor of borrowing several books on physiognomy from his residence. I have just observed him for a while and found that Wei Yan has a rebellious streak in his mind. I am afraid that he will rebel as time goes by."

Upon hearing this, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

Sun Ce has always trusted Zhou Yu's words, knowing that Zhou Yu is definitely not a person who speaks nonsense. (End of this chapter)
